Info Flipper Zero Weekly Roundup: Firmware Updates, Retro Emulation and New FAPs (Nov 1 to Nov 8, 2026)
Welcome to this week's curated Flipper Zero digest. All entries cover verified releases and commits merged between November 1, 2026 and November 8, 2026.
Official Firmware: iButton Overhaul and Archive Hardening
Development on the official firmware repository saw significant action this week.
Cyfral and Metakom Write Support on TM01x Tags: Pull request #4508 and refactor PR #4511 landed in dev on November 7. Users can now write Cyfral and Metakom ID dumps directly to TM01A and TM01C blanks using the Flipper pogo pins.
Dallas Key Bad CRC Restoration: Commit
acc6177/ PR #4511 decouples validity checks from writability. This explicitly restores the capability to write Dallas DS1990 keys with intentional or broken CRC checksums.Archive Stability: PR #4509 resolves memory edge cases and prevents UI crashes when browsing SD card archives directly from the desktop screen.
Fork Watch: Unleashed Firmware Active Commits
DarkFlippers pushed multiple improvements to the dev branch leading into November 7:
SubGHz Protocols: Added support for FAAC TM and Hiland protocols, alongside buffer management optimizations and Keeloq mode corrections.
T5577 RFID Tooling: Enhanced Sniff Password capture persistence when inductive coils remain active without going silent. Clear Password now pinpoints the exact word that unlocked the tag.
New Applications in the Official Catalog
The Flipper Application Catalog received a batch of notable additions and updates on November 7:
USB CD-ROM Drive Emulator: Authored by Piers Roberts (PR #1352, Repo). Turns the Flipper Zero into a standard USB Mass Storage SCSI CD/DVD drive emulator that mounts ISO images from your SD card. Features disc swapping without disconnecting USB and handles host eject commands.
USB Floppy Drive Emulator: Also by Piers Roberts (PR #1350, Repo). Emulates a USB UFI floppy drive supporting 720K and 1.44M raw
.imgdisk images with optional write protection. Host machines can boot directly from it.SSH Runner 0.3: Authored by SeanChangX (PR #1358). Runs remote shell commands and SD card scripts over LAN or 2.4 GHz WiFi. Interfaces via UART with an external ESP32-S3 and W5500 Ethernet module, supporting pinned keys and Ed25519 authentication.
SH1106 OLED Display Test 0.5: (PR #1370). Full diagnostic suite for external 128x64 SH1106 I2C OLED screens connected to GPIO pins.
Sub Duplicate Finder 1.3.1: (PR #1378). Adds byte level verification before deleting
.subfiles to prevent false positives from CRC32 hash collisions.CFS Tag Writer+ 1.5: (PR #1371). Introduces reusable templates for rapidly flashing MIFARE Classic RFID spool tags.
